Love it, peaty with a hint of sweetness, but I’ve always liked the pleated ones, so no surprise there.

Signature Laphroig boggy marsh scents that lingers afterwards in your mouth. It really does taste like peat bog and Oak. That's about it for me. Not my favorite Islay, though I do keep it for my peathead friends.

The smell is really nice but I'm not sure if the laphoraig taste comes through. that being said i usually like sweeter whiskies, so its probably just not to my liking

Wonderful smoky peat flavor.

The QC never disappoints. Actually better than the flagship Laphroaig 10. If you haven't tried this, you owe it to yourself to pick up a bottle!

Levi,

It's alright. I much prefer the normal Laphroaig to this one. That being said it's alright, but nothing special.

Lee,

Smokey!!

It's like getting up and licking the campfire. Open the bottle and you can smell the peat throughout your whole house. Awesome.

I do like my peated whiskies, have a number of Ardbeg, Kilchoman, Octomore and Campbeltown whiskies in my collection but for some reason have always struggled with the the nose of Laphroaig in the past...something about the tcp, medicinal note was off putting, and for me much of the enjoyment of a whisky is the nose...for some reason though I decided to preserver and try the Quarter Cask...have to say not only is the nose much more to my liking, it might just have added Laphroaig to my go to whisky list.

Smoky and medicinal.

Fantastic scotch for the price. Aggressive and smoky, both in good ways.

For me is simply the best one, the smoky flavour is at the perfect point

Excellent peaty taste and exceptional bottle. Very memorable and worth getting again if I see it on the shelf.

Smokey and a wonderful peatiness. Enjoy with a nice block of cheese or chocolate.

Heavily peated yet deeply complex and drinkable.

Been drinking scotch since I was 25. Started with Glenlivet. This Laphroaig and the 10yr are my go to 25 years later. The Quarter Cask seems a bit sweeter if I can say that, compared to the Ten. For those of us that originally thought Laphroaig tasted like diesel fuel but now crave "The richest tasting of all Scotch Whiskys" realize that drinking it before food and after food create different experiences in flavor. Perhaps its because the enzymes in my system are different but some scotch feels and tastes hotter after food for me. The price difference seems too simple to pick this over the 10yr and if i want more subtle peat with a sweetness, I'll spend more on the Lagavulin 16. For those that say "too smokey".... just wait a few years, your taste buds may just crave the peat before this journey is over.

One of the few disappointing bottles I have purchased. Super strong peaty taste and smell. Tastes like liquid smoke. If that is your jam then this is your bottle. It has taken me a decade to finish this bottle. It only makes an appearance when there is an overly eager uninitiated scotch drinker in the group that needs a wide flavor palate experience. Would not buy again.

Zach,
May 30, 2019

Not as flavorful as the 10, but definitely more kick.

Kevin,
May 23, 2019

My second laphroaig and it is amazing, once you get past the strong nose is is fantastic

matt,

Too peaty

Nathan,
Apr 25, 2019

Fantastic. A hint more subtle than the standard Laphroaig, and just extremely sippable -- with small sips.

Scott,
Apr 14, 2019

Great taste love the peat however the 10 year has more of a peaty taste and is a little less so far the 10 is my favorite but looking forward to try other Laphroaig products because I’m a believer

Taste like licking an old ashtray

Navdeep,

It was love at first pour. Had it at a scotch house in Seattle during a friends bachelor party. This is a wonderfully rounded Laphroaig. Sweet and smoky. Grab a bottle ASAP.

kenneth,

Super smoke. Love it.

Campfire and peaty. Bite that lasts

Justyn,
Jan 24, 2019

A delicious bottle of Laphroaig. Nice smooth peat. While great, not sure if it’s really worth the extra cash over the regular 10yr.

Justin,
Jan 19, 2019

Give me the peat! Give me the smoke! This is the scotch that won me over and brought me from dabbling in scotch to going head first on a life quest to explore what kind of earthy / smokey flavors I could uncover. Though I'm mostly and Islay guy, it has been the anchor to branch out and try other flavors beyond just the smoke.

Alex,
Jan 15, 2019

This kicked my butt but i am a whiskey masochist so it gets 6 stars. Need to drink more Laphroaig and Ardbed to get used to this. Hopefully I will want to up the stars the next time I have it.

Carlton,
Jan 5, 2019

I usually like Laphroaig, but this one was odd: I consistently needed to have a sip of another whisky first to really taste the subtleties in this dram. Once I did, they were certainly there, and a few drops of water helped to open things up as well, but I’d definitely favor Laphroaig’s 10YO expression over this one.

Lee,
Jan 3, 2019

Peaty (very) very nice. Benefits from whiskey stones. I think it would be nice with a strong cheese

Great

arne,

good balance between the smoky and peaty flavors.

Dawn,
Nov 30, 2018

Peated whisky is a taste I'm still acquiring. Laphroaig Quarter Cask is the first that I truly enjoyed drinking. Had I tried this one first, I don't think I would have held peat in aversion as long as I did. The salty, smokiness is something I've come to crave. (And as one who likes to cook with my booze as well as drink it, Laphroaig Quarter Cask makes for a damned fine butterscotch sauce!)

Bret,
Nov 28, 2018

Love the Quarter Cask...it's got similar notes of the 10 year but a few subtle differences that I enjoy. For those who are purest and only drink neat or with ice I'd highly suggest trying the most smokey and peat filled single malts that Islay has to offer with an old school highball shot of soda water on ice...the smokey aroma and flavor are softened but still forward and makes it session drinkable!

Stephen,
Nov 22, 2018

Something like drinking a campfire with a salty and peppery steak, with flambé bananas in the finish.

Dave,
Nov 14, 2018

Delicious whisky. Higher proof than regular 10.

Johann,
Nov 8, 2018

Not too bad, either. A nice dram with some sweet notes in the finish.

Arvind,
Nov 7, 2018

A bit smokier than my personal liking but still something to look forward to on a wintry evening. Lovely finish

Lucas,
Oct 24, 2018

Tastes like a camp fire.

Andilee,

I absolutely love the smoke and peaty notes. This is one my favorites and a “go to” always stocked in the house.

Hastyn,
Oct 17, 2018

It’s my favourite ever.

Nick,
Oct 11, 2018

I am a huge fan of the smoky and peaty tastes. I love the peppery finish on this one.

Lawrence,
Oct 8, 2018

What is the word for this flavor? Acrid? Caustic? The smoky, peat-laden flavors are the first on the palate. Mmmmm, what a tasty sip. Unfortunately, there is an almost immediate blast from, i'm assuming, a battery spill into the cask. Not for me...

Jared,
Oct 6, 2018

This is it! My true love in the form of liquid. I love experiencing other spirits but always say I would rather have Laphroaig. Smoke finished with vanilla sweetness is the beginning, then on your next few sips explore the complex other flavors. I can spend 30 minutes with one dram.

Artem,
Sep 16, 2018

True peat!

guest,
Sep 9, 2018

Too Smokey for me.

Kirsten,
Aug 17, 2018

Smell is full of smoke and peat, the smell is like a damp mossy forest with a babbling brook. Taste is sweet with spice and slight vanilla. after taste is long smoke with even longer spice. Mixed it with a splash of water did not care for the taste after that... enjoy this one neat only in my opinion! Worth the money all day I will reorder and keep this one stocked!

Chris,

Like drinking peat. With your granddad.

Marc,

Naice peat nose. Smoky taste with a nice long and dry finish

Bradley,

A wonderful, peaty scotch

Tyler,

Very rich flavor with a lot of peet

guest,

Very spice forward and lasting. Incredible nose. For people who really love their Islays

Dennis,
Jun 10, 2018

If you are drinking this, you already have a taste for smokey and peaty whisky. From that context, this is a wonderful glass. I enjoyed the initial taste of smoked, slightly burnt, pork ribs that transitioned to a nice spicy oak finish. One of my favorites in this price point.

Danton,
May 22, 2018

Wonderful flavor! A campfire is always a memory away with this one!

Sam,
May 13, 2018

Nasty kick to it

Neil,
Apr 26, 2018

Very, very strong but in a great way. Extremely smokey and a good kick.

Mike,
Apr 4, 2018

Next up from select / 10 year old and definitely bolder and after taste left much stronger. I like it!!

Gabriel,
Mar 22, 2018

Definitely unique compared to the standard 10 Year, and only slightly less smooth than Lagavulin (my personal favorite). I have all kinds of love for Islay Scotch and will absolutely be savoring this one with my English blend pipe tobaccos for a smoky, peaky, fire-y, oaky heaven-like experience.

Christine,
Mar 14, 2018

Rich and deep. Compared to Laphroaig 10, the aroma is lighter and sweeter with a bit of sea spray, and the flavor has more oak than peat. Very enjoyable.

Thomas,
Mar 9, 2018

Smokey goodness with a hint of the sea.

Kyle,
Feb 27, 2018

Smokey peaty lovelyness. Reminds me of the lox on my bagels

Piotr,
Feb 26, 2018

Sweeter than Laphroaig 10. Less smokey. More oak. Delicate version of 10 with more alcohol... maybe I like it better... oh and some water opens it so it is even better. Yeah it wins with 10yo.

guest,
Feb 13, 2018

Very smokey, warm and rich. Also excellent when feeling under the weather.

Mark,
Feb 1, 2018

A bit of an anise liquorice flavor, but the scent is to die for. So wonderfully smokey.

Travis,
Jan 26, 2018

Too smoky for my taste

Danny,
Jan 20, 2018

Very good Islay. Lighter bodied/not as intense as others I’ve tried from this region but overall a decent scotch. Wish it was more complex.

Michael,
Jan 17, 2018

So far I think this is my favorite scotch!!!!

CJ,
Dec 28, 2017

Solid tasting with a bite.

Nick,
Dec 28, 2017

Smoky and smooth in one. I’m used to drinking Lagavulin or The Macallan but this is a different taste entirely

Joshua,

Strong, peaty, well-balanced

guest,

The best. Very peaty. Lots of wood. Medicinal.

Mary,

A wonderful complex smokey flavour

Matej,

Very smoky

Stephen,
Sep 19, 2017

The smoke and peat will punch you in the throat, and that's a good thing! Absolutely loved my first dram, and first experience, of Laphroaig.

Ty,
Aug 14, 2017

Far better than the Laphroaig 10, and maybe $10 more. Considering the Quarter Cask is 5% more ABV, and non-chill filtered, it's a no-brainer. Much better quality, and much more nuance for little more money than the 10. A great bargain, as is the 10 Cask Strength.

James,
Aug 2, 2017

I love peaty scotch and this fits that notch. If you like your drams smokey, peaty, with lots of finish this is for you. As and added bonus Laphroaig gives you the honorary ownership of 1 square foot of the land that produces this awesome drink.

Jeremy,
Jul 27, 2017

Smokey with a light sweetness

Benjamin,
Jul 17, 2017

Must add a couple drops of water

Mike,
May 26, 2017

If you don't like scotch or peated bourbon you will hate this. If you love the smokey taste like me you are in for a treat. Upon opening the bottle the smell of peat and smoke fills the room. It's like you have been smoking some meat all day and that beautiful smell is lingering and you never want it to cease.
When it hits your tongue you get the taste of smoke, peat, and a nutty toffee flavor. The smoke almost over powers everything but you can still get the hints of toffee. You can definitely taste oak after the initial smoke and there is a sweetness to it that I can't put my finger on but lasts throughout. Take a second and third sip the smoke isn't as overpowering and you can get more of the toffee tatse. It leaves you with a smokey after tatse that you wish would stay forever.
Great scotch!

I just love Laphroaig,but this one is superior. Islay whisky at its best

christopher,
Apr 22, 2017

I am not a fan of the regular Laphroaig, but the Quarter Cask is great. All the Islay character, but a bit more mellow and smooth. I would recommend this to anyone who prefers Highland Scotch that is interested in exploring Islay.

David,
Feb 27, 2017

This is one of my favorite Islays. Distinct smoky and peaty flavor.

Eric,
Jan 23, 2017

Laphroaig Quarter Cask is one of my favorite single malts. I prefer smoky/peaty/spicy whiskys and this one has an added bonus of being a stronger alcohol than most.

Nicholas,
Jan 1, 2017

Bout as close to a perfect 10 as I have experienced for an Islay - this is a full bore islay NOT for the faint of heart or "new" scotch drinker

Aaron,
Nov 3, 2016

This bottle has been my GO TO when I am in the mood for an Islay with some smooth flavor. The combination of using a Quarter Cask with an Islay means that you get the classic task of an Islay with the flavor of a more mature aging.

BAM! You almost get knocked out with the smoke and peat, but you get used to it, and start tasting other parts of it. Well worth the price.

guest,
Sep 24, 2016

Very oily, smoky and sweet, and kind of hot - not exactly spicy. Love it.

guest,
Sep 24, 2016

Taste better with a little bit water

guest,
Sep 10, 2016

You can tell it's a Laphroaig product, but lacks the character of the 10 year.

Robert,
Aug 30, 2016

Lovely, challenging Islay with great depth of smoke and peat.

Marc,

Good

Dan,

Peaty, oak woody

devon,

reminiscent of the smells and tastes of chemicals used to clean chicken houses back in the day.

guest,
May 23, 2016

Favorite Laphroaig so far! Smoky, sweet, and oaky. Great combination.

Gregory,
May 1, 2016

Has a band aid taste but very smooth!

Armando,
Apr 24, 2016

Really, really long finish. Definitely pick up nose of banana and cinnamon and smoky and peppery to the palette

Cheyne,
Apr 16, 2016

A wonderfully peaty dram, my first favorite of the Laphroaig profile. Going off memory, I remember it being a sherried yet woodsy dram. Quite full and rich yet not as overpowering as the cask strength 10 year old. A bit young, but the peat is stronger at more youthful expressions. A top notch whisky.

guest,
Apr 15, 2016

Bloody awesome!!

Mike,
Apr 2, 2016

Not my favorite Laphroig, but a solid and tasty dram none the less. Recommend if you don't want to go for the triple wood.

Christopher,
Mar 28, 2016

Strong choice. I've been told this tastes 'medicinal'. Not sure I understand this but regardless, it's peated and excellent.
